Zones: 5-8. This narrow conical dwarf is similar to the Hinoki but with bluer foliage and a bit faster growing to about 5' at 10 years. Nice choice for Bonsai, larger rock garden, patio container plant or land-scape accent. LiveScale©Choice-Dwarf. Currently shaped as a mini tree for trough or small scene. Trim to keep as mini tree or let grow on to full size. Photo shows 20 year old Little Ann on left of an Alberta spruce. Shipping size: Small plants just starting to branch 5-8".

DWARF. A form of Hinoki False Cypress was found by Joe Reis of Merritt, LI, NY, and introduced by Iseli Nursery of Oregon. Swirling, upright fans of dark green foliage are similar to those of the irregularly globose, renowned 'Nana Gracilis', But 'Little Ann' maintains a more narrow habit, making it an excellent choice for fitting into a tighter space, such as a corner, in the garden or landscape.
